Sometimes we are ping pong balls being smashed from one side to the other. This is me, I'm currently studying a technology. Oops! Change of assignments! Plz study new tech! Ok thanks for the constant context-switching.5

So a question.
I remember a news article recently urging all people to use python and rust and the like because of memory safety.....
somewhere way back whenever this bs was.
so a few times now I had chatgpt generate me a status window script because it was a one use thing just so I could see how far along a near 500 gb download was to finished.
and it repeatedly caused my machine to freeze from an unknown source of memory leakage as it gradually built up a ridiculous amount of overhead at a rate much faster than it should jhave from the few references and bits of scalar data that it was accumulating.
I know its means something else...
but its kind of funny just the same :P
my system crashed from what is supposed to be a managed language right ? exceptions and stack traces etc ?16 -

my phone bill is more expensive some reason. which is strange because that's illegal to do
they're like if you want to see bill details log in. ok I did. I see nothing mentioning it. check my last few bills emails. it's been 5$ more expensive since the new year.
actually I have a 1gb data plan and if I Google up good mobile plans this exact same provider is advertised as giving you 60gb data for 45$. I used to pay 47$ for 1 GB but now I'm paying 52$ for 1 GB it seems
yeah I think I'm going to go with a different company. I literally don't even use my phone unless the power goes out or something. I don't even want to be paying 50$ for something I'm not using. maybe you shouldn't have tried to illegally increase my pricing and then you could've kept me paying. dunno. byyyee6 -
KDE Plasma can't into animations. I mean they can be beautiful, but they are immediately preceded, as well as followed, by ~200ms of all sorts of flashing visual fuckery that completely ruins everything.
So I just went and disabled every animation I could. Now it's time to disable animations in my browser as well.
Now KDE feels scary fast. If macOS felt like a fast but comfortable SUV, KDE without animations feels like a 1000hp all-manual EXO-car.
Knowing that a modern SUV can be remotely hacked and steered into ongoing traffic at 100mph, I would argue that an all-manual car is safer, at least for a certain kind of people.8 -
I have to go through so much bullshit with the architecture invented by people with no technical skills… It went from invented problems to real problems very quickly.3

I just ordered ticket on the DB website.
They took my money. Didn't give my train tickets.
This is why I hate germans. Scammerz26 -
Why do people who put camera's on always insist others must do so as well? I don't mind when it's a special meeting like a retro or some form of team building thing, but I cannot be assed during standup - that MFer is meant to be over after 10 minutes. You guys go on an hour-long tangent, while I'm busy writing code, chatting to people and getting shit done, do you really need to see me not paying attention to the issues with the PHP project that are there because client X did something stupid. I'm already rolling my eyes while listening right now. Also, I don't want to put a "good" shirt on for 20 minutes to an hour meeting.19

> The decision by European Union judges (dictators) to give people the right to have information about them deleted from search engine listings like Google is a scam by the El-lite and their toadies to hide their own background from public knowledge
oh that explains a lot actually...
information for me but none for thee
> This so-called ‘right to be forgotten’ is no more than an example of George Orwell’s ‘Memory Hole’ in which the Ministry of Truth (inversion) re-wrote historical documents to match the ever-changing state propaganda. Britain’s Information Commissioner’s Office even ordered Google to remove links to stories about Google removing links to stories. So much information that people have a right to see no longer appears in search engine listings and is essentially deleted – down the Memory Hole7 -
I dig Debian so far. Here’s why I chose it:
- When something corpo doesn’t work on Arch, no one cares. But when it doesn’t work on Debian, it’s a big deal, and corpo people will be fixing it in no time. Good example is VSCod[e|ium] constantly crashing on Fedora: “it was fixed in kernel, all we have to do now is just wait for Fedora to catch up”.
- Complete and utter boringness/stability. When something breaks in Debian, it definitely broke for DenverCoder9 back in 2014 as well, and is easily fixable. You’re never the trailblazer, and with OS stuff that’s a good thing
- Complete and utter compatibility with everything. If you want to install/do X on Debian, someone else already did it and fixed everything for you
- Noble pedigree. “I use arch btw” is a running joke, but “oh, I use Debian” makes people respect your distro choice. Nobody hates Debian
One thing that transitioning people should know about GNU/Linux in general is that you shouldn’t try to replicate your previous experience with Windows/macOS in GNU/Linux.
GNU/Linux is a go kart, or a hot rod. You have to be involved. You have to be ready to tinker/fix things.
But one good thing about hot rods is that if you drive one, CIA can’t kill you with a remote car hack.9 -
What's your take on the Ghimli studio drama.
Here is mine.
So for reminder, apparently shitGPT started generating images (big whoop) and all the normies are using it to mimic their favorite japan cringy anime.
Which apparently isn't to the taste of the anime drawer, who is apparently trying to sue everyone for copying his art style. Including not only chat GPT, but individual users as well.
So:
1. IA is a gadget. It's pretty convenient but if you think it will fundamentally change the fabric of society, you're an idiot.
2. There is no such thing as IntEllECtuAl ProperTy
3. Metallica's singer is a bitchtard. Suing for people to steal your music is the opposite of metal, retard. Same shit for the japan retard, i'll never watch your ghimlee shit now. Princess mononoke my balls, more like streissand so close no matter how far my dick. I hate you and I want your nails removed and then your finger dipped in salt.13 -
Dear KDE Plasma, I'm sorry. I treated you way too harshly, unfairly even. Yes, you was unpolished back in 2018. Assuming you still were did nothing but prove my own ignorance.
Your out-of-the-box polish and support for modern screens, UI scaling, trackpads, smooth scrolling, etc. is unparalleled.3 -
intel management engine and other hardware backdoors were never exploited by any actor of any caliber successfully enough to make any difference — the weakest link was always something else. the biggest negative impact built-in hardware backdoors have on privacy as an institution is that when people find out they exist, they say "okay, they got me, there is nowhere to run, so I can either go live in the forest or accept my fate and carry on using windows."
that was exactly their intent all along. in reality, you _do_ have a choice. using Linux _does_ save you from their eyes.
hardware backdoors were _never_ successfully exploited.1 -
Got this message from my CEO: "When are we going to have a perfect working version? 100% sure without bugs? "
How do I even respond to this? "We are wondering the same"?
(for context, he requested an early alpha build of a certain feature)9 -
when an Indian say "you don't need privacy if you have nothing to hide", you call him "pajeet". when an American say that, you call him "strong leader". Guys, learn the difference already!8

Email is not private by design. Encrypted email services might as well be honeypots you pay for — that would make for such a great surveillance strategy.5
